A sculptural companion to Renzo Frau’s original 1912 design, the Chester One ottoman by Poltrona Frau refines classic proportions with architectural poise. Its structured silhouette is defined by deep capitonné tufting in Pelle Frau® leather—each pleat and button meticulously crafted to honour the brand’s heritage of saddle-inspired upholstery.

Constructed with a seasoned beechwood frame and padded in multi-density polyurethane, it offers adaptable functionality as a footrest, occasional seat, or sculptural centrepiece. Whether paired with the Chester One armchair or used independently, this designer leather ottoman expresses timeless Italian craftsmanship through a lens of contemporary restraint.
